Over Hire

Friction is gravity’s hot red-headed cousin.
-Syd

She’s perfect to learn on
enough for this government work
all legs, labor & broken props
in a glossary of char women
just enough of the bad crazy
or a second set of eyes
to make the frog sing
or at least this is my fear
fathered & over voiced
this injury of purpose
loving a joined plan
can be the decade of adolescence
easy like, well, like some common day off
like the rest of the world suddenly complies
